Should you invest in Finsbury Park?

Opportunities

  • The area offers strong rental yields of 5.3%, which is competitive for London and reflects sustained demand from renters.
  • Liquidity is high, with properties selling after just 57 days, making it easier for investors to enter and exit the market efficiently.
  • The large and growing population of young professionals and students creates consistent rental demand, reducing the risk of void periods.

Risks

  • Affordability is stretched, with a price-to-income ratio of 7.9 and a rent-to-income ratio of 36.4%, which could limit future capital growth or rental increases.
  • The dominance of private renting (94th percentile) may expose investors to regulatory changes or shifts in tenant preferences.
  • The proportion of families is low (12th percentile), so the market is heavily reliant on younger, more mobile tenants.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Finsbury Park’s fundamentals remain attractive for investors who value stability and strong rental demand. The area’s high education and professional population continues to support both rents and sales, while the 6.6% over the past year suggests resilience even in a changing market.

Asking prices for a 3-bedroom house stand at £950,000 and for a 2-bedroom flat at £622,250, with rents of £3,050 and £2,925 respectively, underlining the premium attached to this part of London. Investors should keep an eye on affordability and policy changes, but the area’s blend of liquidity, yield and tenant demand means it is likely to remain in favour over the next 12 months.
